* Trevor and Josh worked on making the rescue arm work properly in order to be able to possibly score climbers during the autonomous period. Throughout the meeting they also worked to tighten several bolts throughout the robot, as well as, adjust servos to their proper positions.
 
* Josh worked to replace the servo operating the climber arm to a weaker one in order to slow down the rate of the arm through and hopefully make the climber scoring more reliable. He also worked to make sure the servos for the climbers on the hill were in proper resting positions.
